need different solution, <pre> tags and innerhtml

[lhjayunaz]

<div id=why>thank you</div>

<script>
var convertnow = "hello hello";
document.getElementById("why").innerHTML = "<PRE>" + convertnow + "</
PRE>"
</script>

Other than wrapping PRE tags, how can I preserve the whitespacing in
this innerHTML construction?

Would it be possible to change WHY's style to: -

style="white-space: pre;"
